Best 8 Luxury Resorts in Patong
Patong’s resorts split between the beach road, where the town is, and the hills at either end, where the views are. Almost everything at the top of the market chose the hills.
Eight below, weighted toward the headlands at Kalim and above the southern bay.
Diamond Cliff Resort & Spa
Twenty acres of garden on the cliff above Patong, looking down over Kalim Beach and the Andaman. The distance from the beach road is the entire proposition.
Four restaurants, four bars and two pools across the grounds, with sunset views from the private balconies. Diamond Spa handles massage and beauty therapy. Rated across nearly 2,900 reviews.
For readers who want Patong within reach and a hillside between them and it.
Kalima Resort and Spa
Seven hundred metres from Kalim Beach on the northern edge, five minutes by road from both Patong and Kamala, which makes it a useful base for seeing the coast rather than one beach.
Outdoor pool, fitness centre, garden and terrace, with a restaurant, room service and a 24-hour front desk. A kids’ club and airport transfers come with it. Rated across more than 4,700 reviews.
Families who want Patong close but not underneath the window.
Wyndham Sea Pearl Resort Phuket
Fifteen acres of hillside above Patong, and 204 rooms arranged to keep the bay in view from most of them. Listed on older guides under its former Sea Pearl Villas name.
Eight pools across the terraces, private pool villas at the top end, and family suites through the middle. Patong sits below for anyone who wants it and far enough above for anyone who does not.
Families and couples wanting Patong access without Patong noise.
Four Points by Sheraton Patong Beach Resort
Direct beachfront with a rooftop pool above it, a separate kids’ pool, and a pool bar between them. Marriott standards behind the desk.
Fitness and yoga run through the week, and parking is free, which on Patong is worth noting. Rated across more than 5,000 reviews.
Families and couples wanting beachfront with a brand standard attached.
Courtyard by Marriott Patong Beach Resort
Four hundred and forty-five rooms and suites around four pool areas, two of them carrying swim-up bars and one a slide.
Five restaurants and bars on site and a 24-hour gym. Bangla Road is a few minutes’ walk, which the resort is positioned for rather than sheltered from.
Families and groups who want scale and a pool complex in the middle of Patong.
La Flora Resort Patong
On Patong Beach itself, with rooms that run noticeably larger than the norm on this stretch and a few carrying private pools.
Two outdoor pools, a spa and rooftop dining. Jungceylon and Bangla Road are both five minutes on foot, which is either the reason to book it or the reason not to.
For readers who want the beach and the centre in the same walk.
Phuket Graceland Resort & Spa
Patong frontage at scale: 600 rooms and suites looking out over the Andaman, on the beach road with everything Patong offers immediately behind.
Two outdoor pools, four dining options, a spa, and a bowling alley for the evenings the weather turns. Position is the argument, putting the beach on one side and Bangla, Jungceylon and the night markets on the other.
For readers who want Patong itself rather than an escape from it.
Deevana Patong Resort & Spa
Tropical gardens with two pools and a spa, five minutes on foot from the sand and ten from Bangla, which puts it far enough back to sleep.
Dalah Cuisine runs all-day dining and a free shuttle covers the walk to the beach for anyone who would rather not. Rated 8.1 by recent guests.
Couples and families wanting a garden between them and the beach road.
Booking notes
The hillside properties run below beachfront for comparable standard and nearly all operate a shuttle, so the view costs less than the sand. Green season through October is when the top of this market becomes reachable. Kalim to the north is the quieter end and the water is clearer there.
